blk-zoned: allow zone management send operations without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
commit ead3b76 upstream. Zone management send operations (BLKRESETZONE, BLKOPENZONE, BLKCLOSEZONE and BLKFINISHZONE) should be allowed under the same permissions as write(). (write() does not require CAP_SYS_ADMIN). Additionally, other ioctls like BLKSECDISCARD and BLKZEROOUT only check if the fd was successfully opened with FMODE_WRITE. (They do not require CAP_SYS_ADMIN). Currently, zone management send operations require both CAP_SYS_ADMIN and that the fd was successfully opened with FMODE_WRITE. Remove the CAP_SYS_ADMIN requirement, so that zone management send operations match the access control requirement of write(), BLKSECDISCARD and BLKZEROOUT.
